Saturday morning we decided to stop at the new apple orchard by our house. We knew it wasn't crowded since this is it's first year being open and they aren't really advertising. We were in for a bit of a shock; we got there and were the only customers!

It was nice, we got to pick apples with one of the employees who helped us find some nice ones. Here's Dusty leading the kids. Note that they have pink buckets for the girls, and that Dusty carries it so well!

Max had a fun time getting right up into the trees. It was nice being there since all the trees were still young and little. Max could reach up and just grab apples.

Rory, still needed a boost. I had fun helping her grab them.

The kids loved eating their apples, and I think they have eaten about three in the last two days. The orchard doesn't charge for the apples the kids pick either, just the bags we bought. (Can we say homemade applesauce and LOTS of apple crisp?!)

The kids have their own ways of eating the whole apples. Max eats the whole apple, core, seeds, and all. He doesn't stop for nothing!

Rory, who also popped another tooth this weekend, enjoyed scraping the skin off with her teeth and spitting it out. Then she'd nibble into her apple but that is about the time she'd get bored with it. So we had lots of apple peels lying around and a girl that used her apple to sooth her sore gums.

It was a perfect start to a very fun weekend. And that fun weekend? It also included a new pink swing for a special someone!

She was loving the ability to be pushed higher. She's going to be on those roller coasters with me in a few years, I just know it!
